Louisiana Covid Update

It's Sunday afternoon and we turn to the Louisiana Dept of Health for the daily numbers.
We have 23,928 reported cases today.  349 more than yesterday.
Fatalities are recorded at 1296. Only 29 more than yesterday
Hospital census is 1748, a decline of 13 since yesterday.  Of those,  349 are on ventilators.

My home parish of Rapides is reporting 210 cases, up 9 since yesterday.

Belle and I cooked for a small family gathering today.  She made her signature chicken and dumplings.  And while she was rolling dumplings, I made an apple pie for dessert.


Grandson Lucas tells me that I need to figure out a chocolate creme pie.  We might have to work on that.

    Here's an interesting study from Sanford.

    If it's accurate, then the fatality rate from COVID-19 may be far lower than previously thought.

    I've read many articles about ventilators being the wrong remedy . They do more damage than they help . Lots of technical stuff but it does make you wonder if they may bleed you out with snails next .
